Went to petco today I was going to buy fish from a breeder but do to being pregnant my boyfriend and I (mostly him) decided that it would be to expensive. However it turned out well because both males I picked out were miss-marked as veil-tails but they were actual dthm Sloth is white and green dragon marble and Envy is turquoise dragon! Only paid 3.99 my boyfriend picked out a little red vt female named lust. I would post pics but I have no camera : C sorry... Any others bought bettas that were way cheap due to being incorrectly labeled?

No shame in getting a good deal! I bought a King betta that was marked as a standard and ended up saving a few bucks, sometimes it's to our advantage when lfs employees don't know what they are doing :)

My Rudolphus was also mis-labeled! I didn't know this till I got him home and was trying to find a picture of him online to show someone what he looked like and had NO luck trying to find something like him. So yes! Pet stores are great for mislabeling. Turns out I saved 4$!

...I'm not gonna lie my Petco keeps bumping up the prices on bettas and I've bought over 10 from them soooo I switch the lids. I only switch with the dying or dead bettas and I usually don't go lower than half price. It's wrong I know, but they easily have gotten hundreds of dollars from me between 12 fish, 2 snail, 3 chinchillas, and 2 gerbils, so I don't feel TOO bad about it...

I have never got a mislabeled one before. It is like they check the cups one by one because I saw one with a mislabeled lid but their was writing on their that said it was mislabeled, I actually see this multiple times

I have never gotten one cheaper but I did have to pay more for my delta tail. He was marked as a HM. I knew he wasnt a halfmoon but I wanted him anyways. Who knew he would turn out to be so neurotic?? All he does is STARE at me, all creepy like

morally wrong, but also freakin awsome at the same time!
I could probably get away with walking out of walmart with a free betta. The greeters never check for receipts. Not that I WOULD do it, but I could probably get away with it if I did...
